Or they can be people scared away by unfriendly welcome :) There are many
reasons, and it's hard to guess. The best is still to have a range of

Yes, due to the sheer number of accounts that are created on various
wikis through that, I think.
Has this been taken into account?
And another question following on from this one: how can it be taken

It can be taken into account by not attributing significance to user

certainly not separate people deciding not to get involved with
Wikipedia, but Wikipedians fiddling around (because of SUL, or with
alternate accounts).
